Hardcore Fitness Maniacs September 2026

This morning I did RAW Cardio Crush #3 2026 which was SO FUN!!! OMG, I usually don't like all cardio workouts like this unless its boxing but this one was great. Really good music, too. Michael Jackson, Brittney Spears, Dolly Parton. Great stuff!! The cardio was not super crazy. It was perfect.

Workout was 36 minutes, burned 228 calories, did 3744 steps and HR was 114/143.

Jolie - I'm so glad you liked the soaps!!! And thank you so much for giving that great feedback you gave on my website, you have no idea how much I appreciate that. Anything like that helps me a lot and gets my website more noticeable. I will definitely keep my eye out for a good coconut fragrance. Believe it or not, it's almost impossible to find one that smells like suntan lotion. There are none and all the soap makers complain about it. But I will keep looking. I'm surprised your boys didn't like the Meadow Mist, I sort of thought that smelled like Irish Spring. I will make some Beachy ones as soon as I can find a good fragrance. Right now I'm concentrating on my fall release, which should be on my website later on today and also I'm making Christmas soaps for a few craft shows I'm in plus my website. You didn't subscribe for my emails when I release new items, would you like me to put you in there so you can get them? I will not be releasing a lot of emails - only when I have a new line coming out. Thanks again!!!

Belinda - Good job on your workout. How is Sadie doing? Been praying for her.

Diane - I saw you did a workout yesterday, great job on that!! Hope you are getting all your stuff done for your new house and move.

Roselyn - Where are you? Hope you are ok.

My fall release will happen hopefully later on today. If you subscribed, you will receive the email. :)

Have a great day everyone!!!

The painter has started on our house. We went Monday to show it to our daughter and her husband and meet with the painter so he has a key. Tomorrow we have follow up for dh and going to the house to see how it is going and drop off some trash cans and cleaning stuff. Not sure a workout will fit in.

Debbie, prayers for your mother. I am sorry and hope Great job on Cardio Crush #3. I love it when there is fun music to go with a workout.

Belinda, nice work on LMR Total Body.
 
Evening,

Today I did OnDemand dance + LMR yoga and the restorative yoga + a short Pilates.

Diane - great job on all your workouts. My Rheumatologist was going to give me hyaluronic injection on Tuesday. He mentioned it will get worse before it gets better with the hyaluronic injection.I told him not before the wedding next week, lol. I have an appointment on the 15th to get the hyaluronic injection. He is also wants me to get tested for vasculitis. I am having lots of problems with pain behind my knee, running down my calves to my toes. My right knee is making lots of cranky noises. My right knee is just hurting lately. I just got cortisone shots Aug 7th. Didn’t do anything at all. I hope your insurance will approve it quickly so you get some relief. Good luck with your husband’s appointment tomorrow. How exciting you must be getting closer to move into your new freshly painted house.

Good night.
 
Evening,

Rest day for me today. I had a hair appointment today. I feel so much better getting my hair done. My hair dresser doing also DD’s hair. She will do our hair next week for the wedding. I like what she has in mind.

Good night.
 
Debbie, prayers for your mom. Please keep us updated. I’m here just doing upper bodywork. PT is getting better. Just need to bend my knee soon.
 
Evening,

Today I did LMR LB skipped the bonus workout, ran out of time. I also did a dance OnDemand plus Pilates.

Roselyn - great job on your UB workout. Glad to hear PT is getting better.

Debbie - how is your mom doing? Praying for her.

Good night.
 
Evening,

Today I did LMR UB plus Pilates with the foam roller. I was going to do a dance OnDemand, couldn’t get it to mirror image it to my TV. I can’t dance on a small iPad screen.

Good night.
 
Sorry for being MIA again but my mom collapsed again on Tuesday and has been in the hospital for a few days, but I have her back at home again. I have been walking my butt into the ground and love the way my legs look right now. I use 2# ankle weights and an 8# walking vest and walk 3 miles in the am and 3 miles in the pm. Today's workout was an uphill walk on the TM, 3.3 miles, 1 hour at inclines 4, 5, 6, 7. I burned 487 calories. Next I did my own BACK workout with the cable machine, boy am I weak! But, I got it done!!! We have rain today due to the hurricane coming up the coast and high temps all week long into the 90's with high humidity. YUCK!

Debbie, my pleasure on the soap reviews, I love them! My boys like very lite fragrance in their products, even in the laundry soaps. I cut a piece off of the meadow one and put it in my cloths drawer and it smells amazing! I just checked out your new products, and you are really getting a good product line up for sale! My favorite scent is Guava, I love it with coconut! That might work well for a scent for next summer. Keep it up, it will pay off for you! I am saying prayers for your mom! It is so stressful, I swear my mom's health has paralyzed me. I cannot focus on my daily responsibilities; it is always about her and her poor health.

Great job on the workouts everyone! Let's stay healthy and strong as we age because watching my parents and their poor health in their 90's is rough. However, getting into your 90's alone is a real feat in itself. Our goal is to not take any meds, they are the killers for longevity.
 
Hi,

Today was LMR Pilates and Pilates OnDemand. Went to help DD with wedding prep for Friday.

Jolie - glad your mom is doing better and is home. Great job on your workouts.

Good night.
 
Hi all, I'm back. My mom is doing better and is now at a rehab facility to get her legs stronger so she can go home. These hospitals are incredibly frustrating. I won't go into details, but all the waiting is ridiculous. Long story short, my mom has mild heart failure and a little fluid on her lungs. However, they only found that because of all the tests they gave her. She actually was dehydrated and that is what caused all the issues she was having. I have told her over and over again that she needs to drink water. She says she is but she is not drinking enough. Without being there with her 24/7, I have no idea how to fix this problem. So frustrating. 5 days in the hospital for dehydration!!

This morning I did RAW Strength 1 - Cardio Acceleration and had great workout. I love these types of workouts, they are fun.

Workout was 33 minutes, burned 190 calories, did 1206 steps and HR was 110/145.

Belinda and Roselyn - Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for my mom. I truly appreciate it. Great job on your workouts!!

Jolie - So I purchased a Coconut Sea Breeze type fragrance and it smells wonderful. Once I make them and they are cured enough to sell I will have them on my website. I will let you know. I can relate to what you are going through with your mom, it is awful and so stressful. My head hurts all the time. I feel so bad that she is in a facility but it's a great place and I know someone who works there. I will visit as much as I can. She keeps saying she doesn't want me to come there every day. Too bad!! LOL!!! I hope your mom is doing better. Great job on your workouts!!

Diane - I hope all is going well with you!

Have a great day everyone!!
 
Hi,

Today I did live zoom dancing. It’s getting harder and harder to fit in a workout.

Debbie - glad your mom is doing better. Older adults don’t drink a lot. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

I will be back tomorrow.
 
This morning I did RAW Kickboxing #6 and had a great workout. This one is fun.

Workout was 30 minutes, burned 223 calories, did 2535 steps and HR was 128/159.

Belinda - Thanks about my mom. I was just looking at her MyChart info and some of the things she has doesn't seem "mild" to me as the doctors told me. I guess time will tell as she recovers. Good job getting your workout in. I hear you on getting workouts in!!

Have a great day everyone!
 
Google Morning,

I did Raw TBTS Push and a 1.74 mile walk since the temperature finally dropped out of the 100s.

Debbie-my MIL was life flighted twice for dehydration I told her the same thing you told your mom.
 
Evening,

I did LMR LB. DD is getting married on Friday. We have dinner rehearsal tomorrow. DD is a yoga instructor, her mentor is coming and teaching a yoga class (relaxing class).

Debbie - my DD is getting married on Friday. We will leave tomorrow and come back on Sunday. I am glad you keeping a good eye on your mom. She is very lucky to have you.Great job on your workout.

I will enjoy my time with my DD and future SIL and family. I do what I can workout wise.
